She is believed to have died immediately, but it was not until the following morning that a passerby found her lifeless body.

Amber, of Mears, was travelling west on M-20 near Hesperia at around 11.30pm last Thursday when she rear-ended another vehicle.

She was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected on impact, which sent her Jeep sailing through the air and into woodland.

When emergency crews arrived on the scene, they came upon one vehicle overturned in a ditch and resting against a tree.

Inside, they found the driver, a 28-year-old man from Arizona, who they say had experienced a medical emergency related to his diabetes.

Lt Matt Kanitz, of the Michigan State Police, said there was no indication at the time that a second vehicle had been involved in the collision, and the Arizona motorist made no mention of another vehicle.

The young mum was laid to rest on Monday

At one stage the male driver asked police if he had hit a deer.

He was transported to Gerber Memorial Hospital in Fremont to be treated for minor injuries sustained in the crash.

She was laid to rest on Monday at West Hesperia Cemetery following a funeral service.

“Troopers from the Hart post are investigating a two-car accident that resulted in a single fatality” states an Michigan State Police press release.

“Preliminary investigation indicates that the two involved vehicles were both travelling westbound on M 20 near 198th Avenue when one vehicle struck the other in a rear-end collision.
